Psalm 30:6-10

Revised Standard Version

⁶ As for me, I said in my prosperity,
    “I shall never be moved.”
⁷ By thy favor, O Lord,
    thou hadst established me as a strong mountain;
thou didst hide thy face,
    I was dismayed.

⁸ To thee, O Lord, I cried;
    and to the Lord I made supplication:
⁹ “What profit is there in my death,
    if I go down to the Pit?
Will the dust praise thee?
    Will it tell of thy faithfulness?
¹⁰ Hear, O Lord, and be gracious to me!
    O Lord, be thou my helper!”
